Celiac disease (CD) is chronic inflammatory disease of the proximal small intestine. It is caused by hypersensitivity to gluten proteins, rays and barley, which damage the intestinal mucous membrane, creating conditions for malabsorption. In addition to intestinal, classic forms of the disease, extraintestinal manifestations may occur. Aphthae in the oral cavity, defects of the enamel, caries, delayed tooth erupting, atrophic glossitis and angular cheilitis are some of them. Serological examination of patients with minimal symptoms and in patients with extraintestinal and atypical gastrointestinal symptoms would improve the timely diagnosis. By careful dental examination of the cavity with a special focus on these changes, we can contribute to early diagnosis of the CD. The education of patients about oral manifestations of CD can improve the quality of life of these patients.

Unconvincing rate of infections and a smaller percent of serious complications associated with the placement and use of central vein catheters instilled into the femoral vein, indicate that personal experience is sufficient recommendation to convince us that femoral vein does not represent a region with an increased risk for insertion of hemodialysis catheters.

AbstractIntussusception in adults is a very rare entity that occurs in only 5% of all intestinal obstructions. Most often, in 66% of cases, intussusception is localized to the small intestine, while jejunogastric intussusception is very rare and occurs in 0,1%. Since the first case of jejunogastric intussusception after gastrojejunostomy was described by Bozzi in 1914, fewer than 200 isolated cases of postoperative intussusception after gastric surgery have been reported.Here we present a case of anterograde jejunogastric intussusception, 15 years after radical subtotal gastrectomy with Billroth II anastomosis in a 71-year-old man.
